| Nov 25, 2019 at 19:02 | comment | added | vectory | @YellowSky I do not think that's a verifiable statement about grammar (as Adam says). It might have gone either way, all Slavic sprang from OCS, or it's an adstratum to already similar languages. It might be indeed as you say, that OCS is not very relevant here. | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 14:02 | comment | added | Adam Bittlingmayer | (I also dispute the bizarre claim that Slavic languages/dialects from Prussia to Thesaloniki to Muscovy had no grammatical differences 1000 years ago. It's non-falsifiable at best, but that's just not how language works.) | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 14:01 | comment | added | Adam Bittlingmayer | The question is precisely why it is different than the rest, including different from OCS, with which it was in constant contact. Comparative method won't work well if we just ignore a comparable language. The fact that that language has a solid written record is only a plus. | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 11:23 | comment | added | Yellow Sky | @AdamBittlingmayer - 1000 years ago all the Slavic languages were just dialects, the differences were only on the phonetic level, not in grammar. Now we are talking about 2 languages which are grammatically rather different from the rest. Can you see now why it's useless to talk about OCS here? Do you acquire my drift? | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 9:29 | comment | added | Adam Bittlingmayer | @YellowSky Why would it's age make it less relevant? It's basically a snapshot of Macedo-Bulgarian a thousand years ago. | |

| Nov 24, 2019 at 21:10 | comment | added | Yellow Sky | @AdamBittlingmayer - Old Church Slavonic is irrelevant in this discussion since it appeared 1000+ years ago when all the Slavic languages were just dialects. | |

| Nov 24, 2019 at 19:53 | comment | added | Adam Bittlingmayer | @YellowSky "on the periphery" is questionable, it's not any more peripheral than Polish, or Russian in Siberia. Also Old Church Slavonic - which has cases - was developed there and was in diglossia. | |
| Nov 24, 2019 at 14:35 | comment | added | Yellow Sky | Bulgaria and North Macedonia don't "have boundaries with other Slavic countries", they border only on Serbia. And Bulgarian still has cases, Nominative, Accusative, Dative in pronouns, and Nominative and Oblique in definite nouns. Also, nouns have Vocative case. Anyhow, Bulgarian is geographically on the periphery of the Slavic world, so no surprise it developed some features other Slavic languages don't have. | |
